Many users don't like the idea of their harddrive recording 24/7 so it was mentioned to be able to buffer to ram just as you're asking about. I personally do NOT want to buffer to harddrive, especially non-stop. However, I'm all for buffering to RAM since it _is_ very cheap these days for 2-4GB. I don't know how much of a priority this is to Klaus but I'd recommend searching the mailing list for that thread because he did participate in the discussion. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
